Need help identifying model of this Gerber knife

In 1939 Joseph Gerber (advertising agency owner) had custom knife maker David Murphy make 24 sets of carving knife for some of his select customers. Catalog retailer Abercrombie & Fitch saw them and was so impressed with the quality of the knives they wanted to sell them. Thus was born Gerber Legendary Blades.

Greetings...

It is known as Freeman Guide Fixed Blade

The folding variant is shown in orange below.Caping knives of exceptional quality!The Fixed Version is rather light, which comes in handy after a couple of hours of skinning out a 1200 lb Elk!The Folder is a surprising amount of weight and durability! I know that Cabela's has been around for at least 8 years.I remember they used to sell an S30V version earlier.
Both are available here at: https://icknives.com/
